Did you know that literacy skills develop in the first five years of your child's life? Our storytimes are classes designed and conducted to teach you how you can make literacy readiness a part of your everyday life!  Based on the feedback you gave us, our winter storytimes series will be broken up into two six-week sessions:

Winter 1 

 Register:  Monday, January 11 – Monday, January 25

Session:  Monday, February 1 – Friday, March 12

 Winter 2

Register:  Monday, March 1 – Monday, March 15

Session:  Monday, March 22 – Friday, April 30

Storytime brochures are available in the library.

Important Enrollment Information -

• Registration is a lottery and participants will be contacted by Saturday January 30th, 2010 for Winter Session 1 placement.
• Registered Storytimes are for children whose parents are Darien residents, employed in Darien full-time, or contributors to the Darien Library Annual Campaign at the $300 level.

Storytimes are for babies, toddlers and children up to age 6. The library offers a variety of other programs for children up to age 12.  

These programs are developmentally appropriate for the stated ages, though we offer a two week grace period for children on the cusp. Parents and caregivers can register infants and 1-year-olds based on their ability to walk. For two-year-olds and up, please register children based on their age at the start of the storytime session.
